Engineering Technology

Introduction to computer-aided drafting (CAD). Topics include a review of multi-view projection, and introduction to the CAD program, zooming, snapping, coordinate schemes, copying, moving, plotting, layers, trimming, breaking, blocking, inserting, and dimensioning. Upon completion of this course a student will be able to draw and dimension the views which are necessary for a clear and complete description of a rectilinear object using two-dimensional microcomputer techniques

This course covers the basic principles and practices in mechanic drafting/design incorporating computer-aided drafting equipment. The use of proper lines, dimensions, and notations are covered in regard to multi-view orthographic drawings. Students will be expected to draw the proper views of objects using computer-aided drafting software.

Continuation of MET 201. Topics include dimensioning, reflecting, polygons, arrays, utilities, sectioning, hatching, arcs, isometrics, rotating, attributes, filing, and enhanced lines. Upon completion of this course a study will be able to draw and dimension isometric views, sectional views, and other views as necessary to clearly and completely describe an object using two-dimensional microcomputer techniques. 

This course serves as an introduction to GD & T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) for students who are pursuing careers in manufacturing technology and other related fields. Topics include fundamentals of symbols, terms used in application, positional tolerance applications, data frame and conversion tables.
